| Very cool indeed. Are you going to cover with the Aluminium? |

| Do they have a bitish fire fly tropedo plane it looks like a helldiver acept it has a inline v12 engine and T tail |

| I agree with Flyboy, except it looks more like a Harvard than a Devastator to me. I'd also say it's an Allison engined Mustang, rather than a B. |

| A better photo of the Ryan. The plans are copied from the kit plan sheet. This is what the builder worked to carve the kit |
| frwyflyer, Comment for image # 11117 | 05 Mar 09 19:42 |
| Yes, there is some aluminum paper still in the kit |
| frwyflyer, Comment for image # 11121 | 05 Mar 09 19:41 |
| This is a beginners model and an easy one to start learning the basics of carving |

| One of the interesting things about this kit (probably from the late 40s or early 50s) is that it includes aluminum to cover the kit. If I remember, it is even embossed to cut to shape, right Ted? |

| This will be a 1/12 scale solid of a PT-13. It is based on a drawing/plans that I found in a model magazine |

| Actually, this is an old Burkhard solid model of the Ryan float plane. I carved this from jelutong and have saved the kit to return to Jim. I am using this project to make fabric covered looking wings on a solid wing |

| Anyone want to identify these planes? |
| Creosotewind, Comment for image # 11118 | 05 Mar 09 19:27 |
| This kit, or blocks of wood, look like they will end up being a Kingfisher. |

One more of Ted's PT-13. It will be built as a float plane. |

The final models, when used by the military, were to be painted black. The overall silhouette was more important than color details. Quick recognition was the key. |

Several planes near completion. |
| Creosotewind, Image # 11119 | 05 Mar 09 19:23 |
P-47 Razorback. |

More solids from frwyflyer. Ted's comments: I D model plans. There are basically 2 sheets. A cover sheet that shows construction and small detail patterns and the 1/72 patterns for the pieces. Bigger models of course have more pattern sheets. I'm not sure how much you know about this program. The plans were intended for wood shop students in high and junior high school. They had access to many power tools (saws and lathes) to make identification models for the armed services. There was a very serious judging and acceptance inspection prior to being accepted by the military. Some where deep down in the basement I have much of that information. I didn't participate by making models as I was way too young. My father got some of these plans and we would carve airplanes from orange crates. They were made from white pine or sugar pine, which was easy to cut and carve. I started on a P-47 and when I was finished it could have been any monoplane. My Dads P-47 of course really looked like a P-47 and got me "hooked" on making my own airplanes from crate wood as opposed to kits. Later I started the kit building. |
